Hilton Waikoloa Village

I waked up at 9:00 in the morning, today. But as we had breakfast free from care, it was 11:00am. So I thought that we could not go far, we went to pool today, too. We played in the pool with beach ball, which I bought yesterday. There were little person in the pool site, one party of Japanese and tow foreigner parties. Anyone enjoyed the sunburn on the beach chair without children. We had a lunch in my condo after two hours in the pool. The lunch menu was Chuka-Zanmai. It was an instant noodle, but very tasty for me. My wife cooked it for us, three. However, there was no bowl for noodles. Doesn't American use a bowl? Unwillingly we use some shallow dishes. As I put many in it, I needed many another dishes. We went to Hilton Waikoloa village Hotel after lunch. The hotel was located near The Shores, about 200m or 300m far. So we could go to there by walk. But we went by car, because it was very hot day, today. There was a guard in front of the gate. If you turn right there, there is an entrance hole. If you are hotel guest, you can use the valet parking. If you turn left, there is a self-parking. I went to self-parking. There were some tennis courts near the self-parking and near the left side building. Hotel has three buildings at all. The front desk is between left side building and center. Hotel guest can move each buildings by monorail or boat, walking. There are main attractions, for example, Tennis, Spa, Shopping Mole and dolphin quest at the left side building. So if you stay at right side building, you will spend many hour for moving. But there is a restaurant or a small shop and some pools. If you spend a time silently, it is better that you choose a right side building, maybe. After window shopping, my son and I went to the golf course, Beach Course. There is a 250y driving range. The resort guest can play 6 dollars per person per day. I paid 12 dollars for my son and me at the pro-shop. As I took the receipt to ball boys, they arranged a cart for us. We went to the riving rage by it. There was a range next No.1 hole. As there were many balls, if you have more power, you can hit a lot of balls whole days. There was a grass on the tee grand. You can play reality shots like a true round. After we hit balls for a moment, ball boys began to bring balls. Close time was about 5:30pm. We, three, played tennis, as we have few times until sunset, too.
